personally I still think it looks better bolting it to the center of the lower grille (just b/c it is centered) and it costs a ton less, but still looks good

Agree with you highspeed..I have the stillen mount too and personally hate the fact that it is off center. But then again it does keep the cops away and it's better than drilling holes. :-)

Car looks good, I wish I could see more detailed pix of the wheels.

One thing I will so though, Dvit, is it's SOOO nice to be registered in TX cause of no income tax

but driving my G w/ Texas registration in SC is nice cause I just drive w/o a front plate and they don't know the difference lol

Car looks awesome. Of course the plate looks ugly, but I guess it beats a ticket. Why is it off center?

The stillen bracket screws into the tow hook mount. So it will always be off center

i had the hardest time getting the stillen front plate as straight as possible. i think the plate looks better in person. it might also be the fact that i have the autokits lip, and i think the plate goes better with a lip than without.

Defiantly planning on it, once I do I will put pics up!
I dont really like the plate either, but its easy to take off anytime. and there is no holes in my bumper! they really started to crack down on the license plate laws in texas thats why I had to get this ugly thing...
Thanks for the opinions guys

Not feeling the Stillen plate. I think I would drill the holes in the bumper, and go the factory route. Doing something with the valence and possibly the roof should finish off the look.

I have been in TX for 10 years and never had a front plate. I have never been pulled over for it, and never gotten a ticket. I had a cop say something one time when I got pulled over for speeding, but I didn't get a ticket.
